How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work and how can it help?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals recognize and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. Through collaboration with a therapist, CBT teaches practical coping skills, promotes realistic thinking, and empowers individuals to take active steps toward positive change, leading to improved mental health and well-being.
Welcome to my virtual office. I am a LCSW, licensed counselor servicing all of Florida, with 25 years of counseling experience, with addictions (substances, porn, eating disorders, gambling, and gaming) providing individual and family therapy by utilizing CBT, a strengths-based, collaborative, holistic approach, allowing me to gain a clearer sense of my clients' needs.
If desired, I offer a faith-based, psychological/Biblical integrated approach, addressing every aspect of life, enhancing spirituality, and strengthening faith, to live a more victorious, happier, healthier, & more wholesome lifestyle.
Additionally, I offer Premarital counseling to establish a firm foundation for marriage; because "after every wedding comes a marriage."
My therapeutic style, which is rooted in evidence-based, effective and practical Cognitive Behavioral, and Motivational Therapy, is coaching, holistic, strengths-based (utilizing clients’ own strengths and resources), learning and applying healthier coping skills, and finding viable solutions to address underlying reasons for debilitating substance abuse, eating disorders, porn/sex addiction, and other addictive behaviors, while assisting in finding a more balanced, happier, healthier and wholesome lifestyle.
If desired, I offer a faith-based and psychological integrated approach. I endeavor to apply the Golden Rule in work and personal life.
